"Life  without  industry  is  guilt; 
Industry  without  art  is  brutality." 

Klbert  Hubbard    delighted  in  pointing  out 
the  mistakes  of  doctors,  and  Robert  Ingersoll   j 
went  about  the  country,  at  one  time,  deliver-   j 
ing  a  sarcastic  lecture  on  the  mistakes  of  Moses.   . 
<JThis  chapter  is  a  confession  of  a  serious  mistake 
made  by  dentists;  a  mistake  that  is  the  cause  of 
much  newspaper  discussion  today,  although  the  I 
facts  in  connection  with  it  are  unknown  to  the  j 
newspapers  themselves,  and  to  the  public  gen- 
erally. 

^  This  strange  mistake  consisted  in  devitalizing 
teeth  indiscriminately,  and  the  fact  of  its  being  ! 
a  mistake  was  not  known  until  the  X-ray  dis- 
covered it.  Previous  to  that  time  it  was  taught 
in  dental  colleges,  recommended  by  standard  ; 
text-books  and  practised  by  every  dentist  with 
skill  enough  to  use  it.  It  consisted  in  destroying 
the  pulps  ("  nerves  ")  in  all  teeth  that  were  used 
to  carry  crowns  or  bridges,  and  may  be  called  the 
devitalization  mistake.

9  Devitalization  was  made  easy  by  pressure 
anesthesia  (a  painless  method  of  removing  pulps) 
and  the  mistake  became  general  largely  through 
this.  It  was  carried  on  for  years  because  the  evil 
results  which  followed  it  were  never  dreamed 
possible  until  the  X-ray  told  its  story.  These 
results  came  from  leaving  portions  of  the  pulp  in 
root-canals,  and  from  not  filling  canals  to  the  end 
after  the  pulp  was  removed. 

<J  The  devitalization  mistake  was  based  on  the 
belief  that  roots  were  properly  filled,  when  in 
truth  they  were  not.  For  there  was  no  way  of  know- 
ing whether  roots  were  properly  filled  or  not  until 
the  X-ray  came  into  use;  and  it  did  not  come 
into  use  until  thousands  of  teeth  had  been  devit- 
alized and  the  roots  imperfectly  filled. 
<I  Complete  filling  of  root-canals  was  always  con- 
sidered necessary  to  save  a  devitalized  tooth,  and 
was  the  aim  of  every  conscientious  practitioner.  As 
long  as  the  tooth,  or  gum,  did  not  show  signs  of 
subsequent  trouble  this  aim  was  supposed  to  be 
accomplished.  But  when  trouble  ensued,  and  roots 
were  occasionally  found  to  be  imperfectly  filled, 
there  was  no  idea  that  any  harm  could  follow 
further  than  the  loss  of  the  tooth. 
*I  For  no  one  imagined  in  those  days  that  systemic 
disease  lurked  in  a  dental  abscess.  Hence  the  efforts 
of  the  profession  were  directed  solely  to  the  preser- 
vation of  teeth,  with  never  a  thought  that  some- 

6-— ■■ <>■ 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  3 

thing  more  important  was  involved.  If  it  became 
necessary  to  extract,  after  a  root-canal  operation, 
the  dentist  was  mortified,  it  is  true.  But  this  was 
simply  because  the  tooth  was  lost. 
<I  Imagine  then  the  feelings  of  a  conscientious 
practitioner,  who  had  spent  years  in  perfecting 
his  root-canal  technique,  when  the  revelations 
of  the  X-ray  were  suddenly  thrust  upon  him 
with  the  assertion  that  seventy-nine  per  cent  of 
root-canal  fillings  were  imperfect. 
<J  Imagine  also  how  this  man,  who  had  worried  over 
the  loss  of  a  tooth,  must  have  worried  when  he 
learned  that  every  one  of  his  imperfect  root-fillings 
was  a  possible  cause  of  serious  bodily  ailmeDt, 
such  as  arthritis,  neuritis,  diseases  of  the  heart, 
kidneys,  stomach,  eyes,  nerves,  etc. 
*I  It  was  an  astounding  revelation  of  a  tremendous 
mistake,  and  at  least  one  honest,  careful  operator 
broke  down  as  a  result  of  it.  He  had  spent  four- 
teen years  in  my  office  specializing  in  root- 
canal  work,  priding  himself  on  his  thoroughness, 
and  giving  the  best  that  was  in  him,  without  stint, 
to  his  patients.  Suddenly  the  X-ray  showed  that 
his  work  was  not  what  he  fondly  believed  it  to  be. 
He  worried  over  the  matter  until  his  health  failed, 
and  he  retired  from  practice.  I  believe  there  were 
many  others  like  him. 

<I  The  devitalization  mistake  involved  practically 
every  progressive  dentist,  including  myself.  Con-

sequently  every  man  with  an  extensive  practice, 
no  matter  how  skillful  he  may  be,  has  imperfectly 
filled  roots  in  the  mouths  of  his  patients;  and 
many  of  those  roots  have  abscesses  on  them  which 
medical  men  say  range  from  dangerous  to  deadly. 
<J  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  pus  in  dental 
abscesses   contains   germs   of   a    poisonous    na- 
ture; that  in  many  cases  these  germs   get  into   j 
the  blood  stream  and,  by  the  process  known  as 
metastasis,  are  carried  to  distant  parts  of  the  body 
to  work  havoc.  Therefore  it  is  important  to  know   ; 
what  should  be  done  with  dead  teeth;  for  any 
dead    tooth,    unless   the   root-canal    is   properly 
filled,  may  give  trouble  tomorrow  even  though  it   \ 
is  innocuous  today. 

<J  In  the  first  place  it  should  be  understood  that  ( 
"  blind  "  abscesses,  as  they  are  called,  seldom  give 
local  trouble,  such  as  soreness  of  the  tooth  or 
inflammation  of  the  gum.  Often  these  teeth  carry 
perfect  fillings  or  crowns,  and  to  all  outward 
appearance  are  as  useful  and  harmless  as  any  in  I 
the  mouth. 

flj  But  all  dead  teeth,  and  any  suspected  of  being 
dead,  should  be  X-rayed  whether  the  roots 
have  been  filled  or  not,  and  whether  the  teeth 
themselves  give  trouble  or  not.  Where  the  X-ray  ' 
discloses  an  abscess,  if  it  does  not  cover  too  large  > 
an  area,  the  root-canal  should  be  opened,  the  pus 
evacuated  and  treatment  instituted  until  the  dis-   j 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  5 

charge  has  ceased.  Then  a  root-filling  should  be 
inserted  and  checked  up  with  the  X-ray,  as  des- 
cribed in  my  chapter  on  root-canal  work. 
<I  The  above  applies  to  people  in  good  health.  But 
what  should  be  the  treatment  for  patients  suffer- 
ing from  systemic  disease,  due  to  local  infection? 
Should  their  teeth  be  extracted,  or  should  the 
canals  be  sterilized,  treated  and  filled? 
This  question  cannot  be  answered  in  general.  It 
depends  on  the  physical  condition  of  the  patient, 
the  extent  of  the  affected  area,  the  value  of  the 
tooth  cosmetically  and  for  mastication,  its  sus- 
ceptibility to  treatment,  and  the  probability  of 
nature's  aid  in  a  permanent  cure. 
H  In  all  such  cases  I  prefer  to  talk  with  the 
patient's  physician,  before  reaching  a  decision 
as  to  what  should  be  done. 

fl  The  use  of  the  X-ray  is  such  an  indispensable 
aid  in  diagnostic  and  root-canal  work  that  no 
dentist  has  any  moral  right,  if  indeed  he  has  any 
legal  right,  to  practise  without  it. 
^  All  progressive  practitioners  use  the  X-ray  to- 
day, and  it  is  wise  to  go  to  a  dentist  for  this 
work  rather  than  to  an  X-ray  "  laboratory," 
where  the  work  is  so  cheap  that  it  is  necessarily 
done  hastily  and  imperfectly.  Furthermore,  radi- 
ograms cannot  be  depended  upon  alone  in 
dental  diagnosis;  they  must  be  confirmed  by 
examination  of  the   teeth,  and  only  a  dentist  of

experience  is  competent  to  make  this  examina- 
tion, compare  it  with  the  films,  and  render  a 
correct  interpretation. 

<&  The  X-ray  equipment  in  my  office  consists  of 
two  complete  outfits,  one  for  diagnosis  and  one  for 
root-canal  work,  in  charge  of  an  expert  in  X-ray 
technique.  My  own  time  is  given  up  largely  to 
X-ray  diagnosis,  and  I  make  it  a  point  to  pass  on 
all  obscure  and  unusual  cases  personally. 
^1  My  fee  for  single  radiograms  is  $2.50;  for  the 
entire  mouth  $25.00.  This  latter  does  not  mean  a 
few  films  of  the  ordinary  kind,  many  of  which  are 
indistinct  and  worthless  ;but  anywhere  from  ten  to 
twenty  exposures,  giving  different  angles  of  the 
more  inaccessible  teeth,  so  as  to  be  able  to  make  an 
accurate  diagnosis. 

<J  This  fee  also  covers  consultation  with  the 
patient's  physician,  when  necessary,  either  at  my 
office  or  by  'phone.

HEN  I  entered  my  father's  office  in  1877,  a 
bright  man  could  learn  all  there  was  to 
*  dentistry  in  a  few  months.  It  was  custom- 
ary in  those  days  for  a  student  to  pay  one  or  two 
hundred  dollars  to  a  dentist  for  the  privilege  of 
picking  up  in  the  latter's  office  whatever  crumbs 
of  dental  knowledge  he  could  in  a  year.  But  before 
the  end  of  that  period  the  student  often  knew  as 
much  as  his  preceptor,  and  hung  out  a  sign 
announcing,  to  a  world  unprotected  by  health 
laws,  the  professional  birth  of  a  "  surgeon-den- 
tist." Now,  however,  dental  knowledge  has  grown 
until  the  crumbs  have  become  a  loaf,  requiring 
\  four  years  of  kneading  at  college,  and  as  many 
more  of  baking  in  active  practice,  before  it  is 
fit  to  serve.  Even  then,  after  eight  years  of  study 
and  work,  the  average  dentist  does  not  possess 
manual  dexterity  in  more  than  one  branch  of  his 
profession,  no  matter  how  well  grounded  he  may 
be  in  general  theory.  For  every  man  inherits  more

natural  skill  in  one  branch  of  dentistry  than  in 
others,  and  little  by  little  develops  the  branch  that 
comes  easiest,  and  neglects  the  rest. 
<I  Dentistry   today   consists   of   eight   branches : 
(1)  Fillings  and  inlays.  (2)  Crown  and  bridge- 
work.   (3)  Therapeutics,  (this  includes  root- 
canal  treatment).     (4)   Extracting  and  oral 
surgery.  (5)  Artificial  teeth.  (6)  Orthodontia 
(straightening).  (7)  Dental  radiography.  (8) 
Dental  hygiene. 
Q  These  eight  branches  differ  from  each  other  so 
much  that  they  require  eight  distinct  kinds  of  skill. 
Yet  ninety  dentists  out  of  a  hundred,  possessing 
as  they  do  only  one  kind  of  skill,  for  economic 
reasons  undertake  all  eight   branches.   Naturally 
seven-eights  of  such  work  is  not  well  done;  in 
many  cases  it  is  very  badly  done.  The  obvious 
remedy  for  this  condition  is  the  one  that  has  done 
more  for  scientific  and  commercial  progress  than 
any  other— SPECIALIZATION. 
<J  All   men  on   my   staff   are  specialists;   not  in 
the    usual   meaning   of   this   word — high-priced, 
single-minded  practitioners,  often  applying  their 
own  specialty  when  another  would  be  better — but 
specialists  in  the  sense  of  confining  their  work  to 
a   particular   branch,   while   consulting   and   co- 
operating with  specialists  in  the  other  branches. 
When  any  part  of  the  work  can  be  done  better 
by  one  man  on  my  staff  than  it  can  by  the  others

it  goes  to  that  man.  There  are  no  students  and  no 
recent  graduates  among  us,  the  average  length  of 
practice,  since  graduation,  being  twenty-two 
years.  Yet  we  are  still  learning,  and  increasing 
original  skill  by  much  doing  of  one  thing. 
^  It  takes  but  a  moment's  thought  to  realize  that 
this  method  attains,  as  no  other  can,  the  three 
most  important  features  in  dentistry — Skill, 
Painlessness  and  Economy.  Skill,  because  practice 
makes  perfect:  Painlessness,  because  skill  creates 
gentleness;  Economy,  (quality  considered)  be- 
cause skill  saves  time,  and  thereby  money,  since 
time  is  the  principal  item  of  cost  in  dentistry. 


<&  Our  fees  are  not  low,  because  we  use  too  much 
care,  skill  and  time,  to  compete  in  price  with 
the  careless,  unskillful  or  hasty.  On  the  other 
|  hand,  while  our  work  puts  us  in  a  class  with  the 
j  highest-priced  men  in  the  profession,  our  fees  are 
i  less  than  theirs  because,  through  specialization, 
j  we  are  not  limited  to  one  pair  of  hands.

^  The  X-ray  opened  a  new  field  of  usefulness  in 
revealing  that  the  cure  for  many  bodily  ailments  j 
lies  in  the  scientific  treatment  of  the  teeth,  and 
this  enlarged  opportunity  for  the  relief  of  human 
suffering  has  given  every  worthy  dentist  renewed 
interest  and  pleasure  in  his  work.  The  new  meth- 
ods, however,  require  much  more  time  than  the 
old,  and  make  higher  fees  imperative,  especially 
in  root-canal  work.  Time  is  a  dentist's  capital,yet 
he  must  be  free  to  lavish  it  on  difficult  cases ;  and 
he  cannot  do  this  if  his  fees  are  too  low. 

flf  This  practice  is  not  conducted  solely  for  making 
money.  It  strives  to  give  and  receive  happiness 
through  service.  But  this  is  impossible  with 
patients  who  put  price  before  quality,  and  hence 
we  do  not  seek  the  patronage  of  such  patients. 
They  cannot  enter  into  the  spirit  of  this  office, 
or  contribute  to  the  feeling  of  confidence  and  co- 
operation which  must  exist  between  a  professional 
man  and  his  client  if  the  relationship  is  to  be 
mutually  satisfactory.  Our  appeal  therefore  is  to 
that  discriminating  class  who  demand  progressive- 
ness,  sympathy  and  skill  in  dental  service,  who 
appreciate  such  service  when  rendered,  and  grate- 
fully pay  a  reasonable — not  excessive — price  for 
it.  Only  through  such  patients  can  we  give  the 
best  we  are  capable  of,  or  receive  the  joy  which 
every  man  should  find  in  his  work. 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  11 


ROOT-CANAL  q  No  dentist  can  do  root-canal 
work  properly  who  does  not  use 
the  X-ray  at  least  twice  on  each 
root,  and  frequently  three  times,  or  more. 
q  The  correct  technique,  after  sterilization,  is  to 
open  the  canal  until  the  apex  seems  to  be  reached. 
The  old  methods  failed  just  here  because  often  the 
apex  seemed  to  be  reached  when,  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  it  was  not.  The  new  way  is  to  insert  a  diag- 
nostic wire  and  take  a  picture  to  see  exactly  what 
progress  has  been  made.  If  the  picture  shows  the 
wire  has  reached  the  apex,  the  root-filling  is 
inserted.  If  not,  further  work  is  demanded,  and 
more  pictures,  until  the  wire  can  be  plainly  seen 
at  the  proper  point.  Then  comes  the  root-filling 
of  chlora-percha,  and,  after  that  is  placed,  another 
picture,  to  show  whether  the  filling  has  reached 
the  apex.  If  not,  it  must  come  out  and  another 
go  in;  and  this  process  must  continue  until  the 
final  picture  shows  a  filling  extending  the  entire 
length  of  the  canal  and  closing  the  opening  in 
the  apical  end.  No  root-filling  which  falls  short  | 
of  this  can  be  considered  safe,  and  such  root-  j 
fillings  are  impossible  without  the  X-ray. 
q  Root-canal  work  demands  more  care  and 
thoroughness  than  anything  else  in  dentistry,  but 
in  the  hands  of  an  expert  operator  it  is  performed 
without  pain,  and  often  without  the  necessity  of 
filling  the  root  more  than  once.  Yet,  even  where

there  is  no  hitch  or  complication,  the  new  method 
requires  so  much  more  time  than  the  old  that  the 
charge  is  necessarily  much  greater  than  before 
the  X-ray  was  used.  The  increased  cost,  however, 
cannot  be  allowed  to  interfere  with  the  thorough- 
ness of  the  work,  since  it  is  the  most  far-reaching 
in  dentistry,  involving  the  comfort,  the  health, 
and  even  the  life  of  patients.  It  must  be  done 
thoroughly  or  not  at  all. 

H  It  should  be  noted  that  owing  to  malformation, 
or  to  deposits  of  secondary  dentine  which  close 
the  canals,  some  roots  cannot  be  filled  to  the  apex 
except  after  unusually  long  and  tedious  effort; 
and  a  few  not  even  then.  In  such  cases  our  charge 
is  based  on  the  time  consumed. 
<I  Where  no  complication  occurs,  our  fee  for 
root-canal  work  is  $15.00  per  tooth.  This  in- 
cludes the  use  of  the  X-ray  as  often  as  may  be 
necessary  during  the  progress  of  the  work. 

FILLING    <I  Cost   of   fillings   varies   with   size, 
TEETH       accessibility  and  sensitiveness  of  the 
cavity,  in  proportion  as  these  affect 
time  consumed  in  the  operation. 

AMALGAM  There  are  many  grades  of  silver, 
FILLINGS     amalgam  or  alloy  fillings,  as  they 
are  variously  called.  We  use  only 
the  best.  $3.00  to  $5.00  each.

wear  better  than  large  fillings,  and  are 
INLAYS    easier  for  the  patient,  because  they  are 

made  out  of  the  mouth.  But  their  great 
advantage  is  that  they  can  be  contoured  to  the 
exact  shape  of  the  natural  teeth;  something  that 
cannot   be   said   of   any   other   filling   material. 

!  Proper  contour  is  highly  important  in  cavities 
between  the  teeth,  in  order  to  prevent  the  im- 
paction of  food  which  always  leads  to  disease  of 
the  gums  sooner  or  later. 

1*1  Many  dentists  are  not  experienced  in  inlay 
work.  One  member  of  my  staff  has  made  it  a 
specialty  for  eleven  years.  Minimum,  $12.00. 

EXTRACTING  we  do  no*  consider  of  minor 

importance,  but  give  it  careful 

attention.  Like  all  other  work  in  this  office  it  is

done  by  a  man  who  has  had  long  and  special 
experience  in  it.  We  use  nitrous-oxide  and  oxygen 
under  certain  conditions,  but  in  most  cases  we 
advise  our  local  anesthetic  No.  8,  as  being  safer 
and  quite  as  painless. 

^  Fee  for  extracting  with  No.  8,  $1.00  per  tooth; 
with  nitrous-oxide,  $5.00  for  the  first  tooth,  $1.00 
for  each  additional  tooth. 

ARTI-  <I  Artificial  teeth  are  held  in  place  by 
FICIAL  plates  of  various  materials.  Since  some 
TEETH  plates  are  healthful  and  some  are  not,  it 
is  a  dentist  s  duty  to  explain  the  danger 
!  from  bad  plates  just  as  much  as  to  explain  the 
danger  from  bad  root-fillings.  After  such  explana- 
tion the  patient  is  in  a  position  to  act  on  his  own 
judgment,  and  not  before.  Therefore,  our  first  step 

I  is  to  explain  the  qualities  of  the  different  plates, 
and  exhibit  samples  made  up  of  the  various 
materials  so  &*> 

<i  This  branch  is  in  charge  of  a  specialist  who  has 
been  with  me  many  years.  He  takes  great  pains  in 
|  selecting  teeth  to  correspond  with  the  complexion, 
features  and  age  of  the  patient,  and  in  arranging 
them  to  avoid  an  artificial  appearance.  After  this, 
they  are  inserted  on  a  trial  plate  so  that  the 
patient  can  see  just  how  they  will  look  when 
finished.  Any  suggestion  or  alterations  at  this 
j  stage  can   be   readily   and   quickly   carried   out.

PARTIAL  ^  The  faults  of  ordinary  partial  plates 
PLATES     are  serious.  They  are  usually  uncom- 
fortable, and  interfere  with  eating  and 

j  talking  by  impinging  on  the  space  which  nature 
intended  solely  for  the  tongue.  But  worse  than  this 

!  they  cause  decay  of  the  teeth  with  which  they 
come  in  contact,  and  their  pressure  on  the  gums 
produces  absorption  of  the  alveolar  process,  dis- 
ease of  the  peridental  membrane  and  loosening  of 
the  teeth. 
<I  In  short,  through  loosening  or  decay,  or  both,  it 

!  is  the  rule,  and  not  the  exception,  for  partial  plates 

j  to  destroy  some  or  all  of  the  remaining  teeth  in  a 
few  years;  often  in  a  few  months.  Now  what  bet- 
ter can  be  done? 

*I  If  the  remaining  teeth  are  firm,  and  properly 
placed,  improved  bridgework  is  the  best  form  of 
restoration.  But  if  the  natural  teeth  do  not  stand 
in  the  proper  position,  even  though  they  be  firm, 
bridgework  is  not  advisable.    In  such  cases  gold 

\  bar  dentures  are  the  next  best  thing. 

OLD  BAR    <I  These  consist  of,  (a)   gold   bars 
DENTURES  to    hold    the    artificial    teeth    to- 
gether;   (b)  special   gold   attach-

nients  to  hold  thein  in  the  mouth;  (c)  gold  stops 
to  prevent  pressure  on  the  gums. 
f§  Advantages  are :  (a)  the  bar  leaves  the  gum 
tissue  uncovered  and  healthy  and  there  is  no 
interference  with  speech  or  taste;  (b)  the  denture 
is  held  more  firmly  than  by  any  other  removable 
method,  and  with  less  injury  to  the  natural  teeth; 
(c)  the  gold  stops  avoid  the  destructive  pressure 
on  the  gums  by  putting  the  strain  of  mastication 
on  the  crowns  of  the  natural  teeth. 
<&  When  bridgework  is  not  advisable  gold  bar 
dentures  replace  the  molars  alone,  or  the  molars 
and  bicuspids  combined,  with  a  degree  of  stability 
and  comfort  otherwise  unattainable.  My  con- 
sultation room  contains  models  which  make  the 
value  of  this  work  quickly  apparent,  and  you  are 
invited  to  inspect  them.  The  cost  varies  with 
each  case.  Minimum,  $125.00.

'OME  years  ago  a  British  medical  authority 
istartled  the  dental  world — particularly  the 
portion  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic — by 
denouncing,  what  he  termed  "American  dentistry" 
— meaning  bridgework.  He  accused  it  of  being  a 
frequent  cause  of  pyorrhea  alveolaris  and  of  serious 
systemic  disease. 

<I  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  bridgework  has 
been  grossly  misused  and  that  pyorrhea  and  sys- 
temic disease  are  often  caused  by  it.  This  is  not 
the  fault  of  bridgework,  however,  but  is  the  result 
of  improper  construction  or  application  of  it.  For 
no  other  form  of  tooth-replacement  compares 
with  bridgework  when  properly  applied. 
^  Where  there  are  a  few  teeth  remaining  in  the  jaw 
four  methods  of  restoring  the  missing  ones  are  in 
use;  partial  plates,  bar  dentures,  removable  bridge- 
work,  and  bridgework.  Partial  plates  and  bar 
dentures  were  mentioned  on  a  previous  page.  Let 
us  consider  the  two  other  methods  briefly. 
<I  I  first  remark  that  the  main  argument  used  in 


«3 


18  The  X-ray  in  Dentistry 


favor  of  removable  bridges,  is  that  they  can  be  taken 
out  to  clean  while  fixed  bridgework  can  not.  The 
answer  to  this  is  that  the  natural  teeth  are  not 
taken  out  to  clean,  and  properly  constructed  fixed 
bridges  are  no  more  difficult  to  clean  than  the 
natural  teeth. 

<I  Further,  removable  bridgework  (not  plate  work 
with  clasps,  often  improperly  called  "  remov- 
able bridgework  ")  is  tedious  and  difficult  to  make. 
Its  use  therefore  is  confined  to  the  few  high- 
priced  practitioners  who  are  able  to  get  ex- 
travagant fees  for  it. 

^  But  the  one  unpardonable  objection  to  remov- 
able bridgework  is  that  it  involves  the  destruction 
of  pulps  ("nerves  ").  Science  having  shown  the 
inadvisability  of  this  it  is  no  longer  justifiable 
whenever  it  can  be  avoided;  as  it  largely  can 
be  with  properly  constructed  bridges.  Hence  this 
one  fault  alone  condemns  the  removable  system. 
<J  Now  fixed  bridgework  takes  up  no  more  room 
in  the  mouth  then  the  natural  teeth,  and  performs 
the  functions  of  the  latter  more  perfectly  than  any 
other  method  of  tooth  replacement.  It  does  not 
cause  any  of  the  destruction  or  annoyance  incident 
to  plates,  and  does  not  involve  devitalization  of 
the  pulp  as  does  removable  bridgework.  As 
usually  made  it  often  fails  because  it  cannot  be 
kept  clean  and  because  the  attachments  bring 
about  disease   of   the   gums.   With   these   faults 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  19 

eliminated  it  far  excels  all  other  forms  of  dental 
restoration — always  provided  the  teeth  used  as 
supports  are  adequate  to  carry  it. 
<§  The  methods  which  we  call  the  Cady  System 
are  designed  to  overcome  the  faults  of  bridgework, 
while  retaining  its  virtues.  Its  first  principle  is  to 
keep  away  from  the  gums,  both  with  the  crowns 
which  are  used  as  attachments  and  the  dummies 
which  replace  lost  teeth.  The  dummies  are  made 
with  a  cleansing  space,  instead  of  resting  on  the 
gums,  and  the  crowns,  instead  of  extending  to  the 
gums,  reach  only  part  way  and  are  tightly  fitted 
to  the  largest  diameter  of  the  tooth.  If  there  is 
decay  at  the  neck  a  filling  is  inserted,  but  by 
keeping  the  crowns  away  from  this  point  the  pos- 
sibility of  gum  irritation  is  absolutely  avoided. 
<&  We  do  not  devitalize,  except  where  there  is 
exposure  of  the  pulp,  or  where  a  post  must  be 
inserted  in  the  canal.  In  posterior  teeth,  which 
are  harder  to  reach  with  the  brush,  we  use  "wash," 
or  bar  bridges,  instead  of  the  ordinary  dummies; 
these  are  even  easier  to  clean  than  the  natural 
teeth.  In  anterior  teeth  we  use  detachable  porce- 
lain facings  which  can  be  replaced  in  a  few 
moments,  when  necessary,  without  injury  to  the  \ 
balance  of  the  work. 

<I  The  advantages  of  my  system  may  be  briefly 
summed  up  as  follows:  it  avoids  disease  of  the   i 
gums  by  keeping  away  from  them,  and  it  is  as   j 
6 ~~ M» •— „  >__,_ .,_ >_. , Q 


easily  cleaned  as  the  natural  teeth — more  so  in 
most  cases. 

<J  But  like  all  bridgework  the  Cady  System  is  not 
adapted  to  every  condition,  and  its  successful 
application  demands  judgment  and  experience. 
The  remaining  teeth  in  the  jaw  must  be  properly 
placed  and  sufficiently  firm,  or  I  cannot  recom- 
mend it.  Only  personal  examination  can  determine 
this.  If  you  are  interested  I  shall  be  glad  to  show 
you  specimens  of  this  work  and  tell  you  whether 
or  not  it  is  advisable  in  your  particular  case. 
^  The  cost  is  $15.00  per  tooth,  except  in  difficult 
or  unusual  cases,  where  a  special  price  will  be 
quoted  in  advance.

CLEANING  teeth  is  as  important  as  any  work 
in  dentistry.  Yet  is  has  been  neglected  more 
than  any  other  branch,  partly  because  den- 
tists do  not  like  the  work,  and  partly  because 
patients,  not  realizing  its  importance,  complain 
when  charged  what  it  is  worth.  The  average  person 
coming  to  a  dental  office  says;  "Two  or  three 
dollars  is  enough  to  pay  for  cleaning  teeth,"  and 
the  average  dentist  gives  such  person  two  or  three 
dollars'  worth  of  his  time,  and  lets  it  go  at  that; 
though  the  teeth  are  not  half  cleaned.  The  patient 
I  is  satisfied  because  the  front  teeth  look  clean,  not 
knowing  that  the  most  necessary  part  of  the  work 
has  been  neglected,  because  it  is  the  most  difficult 
— and  that  this  neglect  will  some  day  lead  to 
pyorrhea  and  decay. 

(&  How  does  a  dentist  excuse  this  neglect?  Well,  he 
knows  it  would,  in  many  cases,  take  several  hours 
|  of  disagreeable  labor  on  his  part  to  scale,  polish 
i  and  clean  the  teeth  properly.  He  cannot  afford  to 
spend  this  time  unless  he  is  properly  paid  for  it, 
because  he  can  earn  as  much,  or  more,  on  work  he 
likes  better,  from  the  next  patient. 
^  Of  course  he  should  talk  to  patients;  educate 
them  in  the  importance  of  cleaning  teeth  thor-

oughly.  But  that  also  takes  time,  which  he  cannot 
afford  to  spend  unless  he  is  paid  for  it.  His  time  is 
money  and  he  has  wasted  hours  of  it,  more  than 
once,  in  fruitlessly  trying  to  make  skeptical  pa- 
tients realize  the  value  of  this  work. 
fl  So  it  came  about  that  conscientious  dentists, 
who  wanted  to  render  proper  service  and  yet  pro- 
tect their  own  interests,  trained  young  women  to 
do  the  work,  and  the  talking.  It  was  found  they 
did  this,  after  correct  instruction,  better  than  the 
dentists  themselves,  as  it  requires  patience  and 
thoroughness,  rather  than  a  high  degree  of  skill. 

IBut  they  had  no  legal  right  to  work  in  the  mouth 
and  their  employment,  even  in  cleaning  teeth, 
was  in  violation  of  the  law.  Consequently  the  next 

I   step  was  the  establishment  of  schools  to  do  the 
training  systematically,  and  a  law  entitling  gradu- 
ates   to    practise  their  specialty  legally.  ^  This 
'   explains   why   we   have   today   an   entirely  new 
!    specialty  in  dentistry,  and  why  the  cleaning  of 
teeth,  in  up-to-date  dental  offices,  is  scientifically 
t   performed   by   dental    hygienists. 

<I  In  1917  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  New  York 
:  enacted  an  amendment  to  the  dental  law,  authoriz- 
'  ing  dentists  to  employ  dental  hygienists,  and  pre- 
|   scribing    strict    legal    requirements    for   women 

I   who  desired  to  study  and  practise  this  special- 
ty. Thoroughly  alive   to  the  importance  of  the 
I   subject  I  lost  no  time,  after  the  new  law  was

passed,  in  installing  a  licensed  graduate  of  the 
School  of  Oral  Hygiene  of  Columbia  University. 
<J  The  creed  of  dental  hygiene  is  that  cleanliness 

j  is  the  salvation  of  the  teeth  and  gums,  and  that 
healthy  gums  and  sound  teeth  influence  the 
general  physical  condition.  Statistics  show  that 

i  seventy-two  men,  women  and  children  die  every 
day   in   the   United   States   from   diseases   that 

j  might  be  prevented;  and  it  is  now  known  that 

*  many  of  these  preventable  diseases  have  their 

f  origin  in  an  unhygienic  condition  of  the  mouth 
and  teeth.  When  the  public  learn  the  value  of 
dental  hygiene,  therefore,  not  only  will  decay  of 

:  the  teeth  and  disease  of  the  gums  be  less,  but 

;  systemic  disease  will  be  greatly  reduced. 
<I  Pyorrhea  alveolaris,  or  Riggs'  disease  of  the 
gums,  is  the  cause  of  many  serious  bodily  ailments 

;  and  is  much  more  prevalent  than  is  generally  sup- 
posed, especially  in  the  incipent  stage.  It  is  easily 

;  checked  by  dental  hygiene,  if  taken  in  time;  but 
if  neglected  it  often  becomes  impossible  to  cure. 
Many  people  have  this  disease,  and  do  not  know 

;  it  until  too  late.  They  think  their  teeth  are  clean, 
when  as  a  matter  of  fact  they  are  loaded  with 
bacterial  deposits,  especially  at  the  gums,  which 
are  slowly  but  surely  establishing  an  incurable 
condition.  This  is  particularly  true  of  posterior 

-  teeth,  which  are  difficult  to  reach  with  the  brush. 

j  Hence,  the  work  of  the  dental  hygienist  is  not  only 

o_™, — ___„ _ „._4

to  clean  teeth,  but  to  point  out  to  patients  the 
spots  they  neglect,  and  instruct  them  how  to  keep 
these  spots  clean.  If  oral  hygiene  accomplished   '■ 
nothing  more  than  teaching  the  effective  use  of   j 
brush,  pick  and  floss,  it   would  be  worth  all  it   \ 


costs.    But    the   actual   saving   in    dental    bills, 
not   to   mention  doctors'  bills,  far  exceeds  this. 
<I  In  the  old  way  a  dentist  cleaned  teeth  merely  to   ! 
make  them  look  clean,  by  quickly  going  over  the   I 
exposed  surfaces  only.  The  new  way  reaches  all 
surfaces,  including  the  unexposed  and  difficult  of 
access.  It  improves  appearance,  but  accomplishes   j 
something  vastly  more  important. 
^  The  old  way  with  scraper  and  brush  wheel,  rare- 
ly took  over  half  an  hour.  The  new  way  with  special   I 
appliances  and  methods  often  takes  several  hours. 
<I  Naturally  there  is  great  variation  in  the  time   j 
necessary  to  thoroughly  clean  teeth  in  different   ; 
mouths;    hard    and   extensive    accretions    taking 
much  longer  than  mere  stains  or  soft  deposits. 
Even  where  the  deposits  are  slight  it  is  seldom  that   I 
a  set  of  teeth  can  be  properly  cleaned  in  less  than 
one  hour;  where  they  are  heavy  the  work  requires   j 
many  hours  and  several  sittings.  This  being  the   j 
case,  there  is  but  one  rational  way  to  charge  for   ■ 
such  work,  and  that  is  for  the  time  it  consumes. 
Our  fee  is  $5.00  per  hour.

"Do  your  work  as  well  as  you  can,  and  be  kind." 


C&  HE  indifference  of  dentists  generally  to  the 
pain  they  inflict  is  hard  to  understand.  It  is 
^*  due  many  times  to  lack  of  sympathy,  perhaps 
because  the  dentist's  own  teeth  are  not  sensitive. 
It  is  sometimes  due  to  haste;  the  application  of 
one  remedy  after  another  (frequently  necessary) 
consumes  time.  It  often  comes  from  ignorance ; 
dental  colleges,  strangely  enough,  teach  little  on 
the  subject  and  it  is  seldom  discussed  in  dental 
societies  s*»  s«* 

*I  Whatever  the  cause,  the  fact  remains  that  most  ; 
dentists  are  careless  about  the  pain  their  patients 
suffer.  "A  sharp  bur  and  steady  hand  are  the  best 
obtundents,"  they  say.  I  know  better  than  this  for 
my  own  teeth  are  extremely  sensitive.  Operations 
in  my  mouth  have  always  been  a  serious  affair, 
both  for  me  and  for  the  dentist  who  served  me; 
and  no  patient  ever  came  into  my  office  with  more 
fear  than  I  have  felt,  or  was  served  with  more 
reluctance  by  my  operators. 

<&  The  sharp  bur  and  steady  hand  idea  was  tried 
on  my  teeth  when  I  was  a  boy,  and  I  shall  never 


26  The  X-ray  in  Dentistry 

forget  it.  As  a  result  of  that  experience  I  later  on 

dreaded  work  on  my  teeth  so  much  that  I  would  put 
|  it  off  for  months,  though  well  aware  the  longer  de- 
|   layed  the  more  I  would  suffer.  Naturally,  while 

looking  forward  with  dread  to  the  inevitable 
|  operation,  I  was  studying  and  experimenting  to 
|  make  it  as  painless  as  possible.  This  accounts,  in 

large  part,  for  my  early  interest  in  painlessness, 

il  and  for  my  efforts,   covering  a  period  of  thirty 
years,    which  have   kept  me  constantly  on  the 
alert   to   save   my    patients    from     unnecessary 
i   suffering. 

9  Three  factors  contribute  to  painlessness  in  my 
!  office :  specialization ;  an  effective  obtunding  sys- 
I  tern ;  the  desire  to  avoid  pain. 
I   *l  In  the  last  analysis  painless  operations  on  teeth 
j  depend  largely  on  the  heart  of  the  operator.  If  he 
|  is  careless,  hasty,  or  unsympathetic,  he  will  inflict 
j  pain  even  when  adequate  means  are  at  hand  to 
|  avert    it.    Hence    patience,    gentleness,    and    an 
J  earnest  desire  to  avoid  pain  are  essential.  I  will  not 
j  allow  any  man  to  work  on  my  teeth  who  does  not 
j  possess  these  qualities,  and  I  demand  as  much  for 
j  my  patients  as  I  do  for  myself.  For  this  reason 
j  members  of  my  staff  are  selected  not  only  for  skill, 
j  but  for  sympathy  and  carefulness,  especially  in 
!  dealing  with  nervous  and  sensitive  patients. 
|  <J  Time  is  another  important  factor  in  dentistry, 
j  for  it  is  an  impossibility  to  work  hastily  on  sensitive 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  27 

teeth  without  inflicting  pain.  Therefore  it  is 
one  of  the  invariable  rules  of  my  office  to  take  all 
the  time  necessary  to  avoid  pain.  This  is  something 
many  dentists  who  practise  alone  think  they  can- 
not afford,  especially  when  there  is  a  patient 
waiting  in  the  reception  room.  But  with  my  large 
staff  we  can  care  for  the  patient  in  the  reception 
room  without  neglecting  the  one  in  the  chair. 
9  A  great  man  once  said;  "  Get  your  happiness 
out  of  your  work  or  you  will  never  know  what  real 
happiness  is." 

^  Happiness  in  our  work  accounts  for  the  cheer- 
ful atmosphere  of  this  office,  which  is  so  apparent 
as  to  be  frequently  remarked  by  patients.  You  may 
think  this  has  nothing  to  do  with  making  our  work 
painless,  but  I  assure  you  it  has.

"Z  &now  w/m£  pleasure  is,  for 
I    have    done    good    work." 


Of  N  1889  when  I  was  a  high-priced  "ethical  " 
I  practitioner  in  Chicago,  doing  all  work  with 
^»  my  own  hands,  I  became  dissatisfied  with 
this  method  of  practice  and  resolved  to  improve  it. 
1&  I  had  a  good  general  knowledge  of  my  pro- 
fession. But  like  most  men  I  was  actually  skillful 
in  only  one  branch,  and  knew  I  could  render  better 
service  by  confining  my  work  to  that  branch  and 
surrounding  myself  with  men  who  were  skillful  in 
the  others. 

<l  There  was  no  more  hope  of  making  such  an 
innovation  successful  without  advertising,  how- 
ever, than  there  was  of  John  Wanamaker  succeed- 
ing without  it.  So  I  had  to  decide  whether  I  would 
continue  to  serve  clients  in  an  inferior  way,  or 
resign  my  membership  in  dental  societies  and 
ignore  the  code  of  ethics,  in  order  to  do  a  larger 
and  better  work.  Against  the  advice  of  my  pro- 
fessional brethren  I  chose  the  latter  course. 
i^  That  was  a  long  time  ago,  (I  have  been  in  this 
office  twenty-six  years)  and  since  then  my  Chi- 
Scago  dream  has  materialized  in  the  largest,  high- 
class  dental  practice  in  existence.  Because  nothing 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  29 


succeeds  like  success,  perhaps,  many  of  my  early 
critics  now  admit  that  a  professional  man  can  use 
printers'  ink  without  sacrificing  his  ideals.  Some 
day  they  will  perceive  that  it  does  n't  matter  so 
much  how  a  dentist  attracts  patients  to  his  office 
as  how  he  treats  them  when  they  are  there. 
<I  I  protest  against  the  rules  of  dental  societies 
because  they  are  selfish  and  made  for  the  benefit 
of  members  only.  If  they  aimed  to  protect  the 
public,  as  they  should,  honesty,  sobriety  and  skill 
would  be  the  test  of  membership,  instead  of  non-ad- 
vertising. <&  I  know  that  many  advertising  dentists 
lack  a  sense  of  professional  obligation — so  do  many 
"  ethical  "  dentists,  for  that  matter.  But  dental 
societies  do  not  discriminate  between  the  good  and 
the  bad.  They  class  all  advertisers  as  "  Painless 
Parkers,"  which  is  as  foolish  as  to  class  all  non- 
advertisers  with  Professor  Black.  The  fact  of  a 
dentist's  advertising  does  not  prove  his  incom- 
petency any  more  than  membership  in  a  dental 
society  proves  he  is  competent. 
^  Then,  too,  the  rule  against  advertising  is  incon- 
sistent because  many  "  ethical  "  dentists  get  all 
the  free  advertising  they  can,  and  go  to  great 
lengths  to  do  so.  What  they  object  to  is  advertising 
that  is  honestly  bought  and  paid  for.  A  society 
member  remains  in  good  standing  as  long  as  he 
refrains  from  advertising  of  this  kind,  no  matter 
how  wretched  his  work,  or  his  character,  may  be,

cast  out  the  beam  from  their  own  eye  before  they 
attempt  to  extract  the  mote  from  their  brother's. 
9  Did  you  read  "  The  Kaiser  as  I  Knew  Him  " 
which  attracted  so  much  favorable  comment  in 
1918?  Would  you  believe  that  the  gifted  American 
author,  a  dentist,  was  refused  admission  to  a 
New  York  dental  society  because  of  it?  By 
fourteen  years  of  honorable  achievement  he  had 
become  famous  throughout  the  world.  His  fame 
indeed  was  the  crime  for  which  this  man,  who  had 
brought  honor  to  American  dentistry,  was  dis- 
honored by  American  dentists  when  driven  out  of 
Germany.  He  was  rejected  because  they  feared  his 
book  might  aid  his  wicked  design  to  gain  a  liveli- 
hood for  himself  and  family,  in  competition  with 
the  members  of  the  society  he  desired  to  join. 
Honor  him  for  what  he  had  done?  Not  for  an 
instant!  But  knock  him  for  what  he  might  do.  He 
was  "  unethical." 

<I  Some  years  ago  several  members  of  this  same 
society  attempted  to  boycott  Elbert  Hubbard  for 
writing  his  "  Little  Journey  to  a  Great  Dentist  " 
about  me.  His  reply,  in  The  Philistine  of  March, 
1910,  is  earnestly  recommended  to  the  attention 
of  this  same  jealous coterie,because  of  its  bearing  on 
their  contemptible  treatment  of  the  Kaiser's  dentist.

<I  While  I  shall  continue  to  practise  my  profession 
in  the  way  that  seems  best  to  me,  without  "ethical " 
dictation,  I  cannot  expect  any  sensible  person  to 
decide  a  serious  question,  like  the  selection  of  a 
dentist,  on  the  arguments  of  advertising  alone. 
Proof  of  excellence  is  necessary,  indisputable  proof; 
and  it  is  just  here  that  this  booklet  merits  atten- 
tion. There  is  not  a  statement  in  it  which  cannot 
be  substantiated,  but  even  if  the  preceding  pages  j 
be  taken  with  the  customary  grain  of  salt,  the 
letters  which  follow,  and  the  prominence  of  the 
writers,  must  compel  conviction  when  I  claim  to 
stand  in  a  class  by  myself. 

^  I  write  my  own  advertisements  and  enjoy  it,  and   i 
now  having  talked  with  you  thus,  I  shall  enjoy 
talking  with  you  face  to  face.  I  make  no  charge 
for  consultation.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

It  is  now  a  good  many  years  since  I  began  going  to  you  for  dentistry.  If 
I  had  discovered  you  earlier  I  would  have  had  less  pain.  Also  I  would  now 
have  more  teeth  and  more  money — for  few  things  are  so  expensive  in  the 
long  run  as  poor  dentistry.  In  your  office  I  have  had  only  excellent  and 
satisfactory  work. 

You  have  never  asked  or  suggested  any  word  of  commendation  from  me, 
but  the  brief  and  simple  testimony  I  now  send  is  justly  due  you  from  your 
satisfied  patron.  (Rev.)  William  V.  Kelley,  D.  D. 

Editor,  Methodist  Review,  150  Fifth  Avenue,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

When  I  put  myself  in  your  hands  I  was  an  invalid  and  had  neglected  my 
teeth  for  years.  I  needed  the  services  of  several  specialists  in  your  office, 
but  as  a  result  of  their  gentle  and  skilful  ministrations  I  am  a  new  man 
today  and  entering  on  a  new  life.  I  owe  you  a  debt  of  gratitude  for  a  mouth- 
ful of  masterpieces  of  dental  skill  which  have  greatly  improved  my  health 
and  increased  my  strength. 

Any  fellow-man  may  count  himself  fortunate  who  gets  an  appointment 
with  you.  (Rev.)  David  Gregg, 

President    Western    Theological    Seminary,    Pittsburgh;    Former    Pastor 
Lafayette  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Now  that  my  visits  to  your  office  are  at  an  end  I  want  to  express  my 
appreciation  of  the  service  you  have  done  me. 

I  went  to  you  prepared  to  lose  my  teeth.  You  have  saved  them,  and  the 
process  of  salvation  was  withal  so  pleasant  that  I  almost  regret  it  is  finished. 

If  the  perfect  satisfaction  of  the  patient  counts  for  aught,  let  me  assure 
you  that  it  exists  in  (Rev.)  John  L.  Belfobd, 

Church  of  the  Nativity  of  Our  Blessed  Lord,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Give  me  as  reference  in  connection  with  the  excellent,  and  it  seems  to 
me  almost  unparalleled  service,  that  you  render  those  who  are  fortunate 
enough  to  receive  your  treatment. 

(Rev.)  Jodson  Swift,  D.  D., 
Gen.  Secretary  American  Tract  Society,  101  Park  Ave.,  Manhattan.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  work  you  have  done  for  Mrs.  Allen  and  me  has  left  nothing  to  be 
desired.  It  is  still  a  matter  of  amazement  to  me  that  so  great  comfort  is 
possible  as  that  which  obtains  in  your  nerve-extracting  process.  It  is  unique 
— though  not  any  more  so  in  point  of  skill  than  your  various  other  labors 
in  course.  (Rev.)  Charles  J.  Allen, 

Pastor,  Beecher  Memorial  Church,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

This  will  introduce  the  Rev.  Doctor  James  M.  King,  one  of  our  most 
distinguished  clergymen  and  my  personal  friend.  If  you  treat  him  as  well 
as  you  did  me  we  will  both  bless  you.  (Rev.)  Philip  Gebmond, 

Pastor,  Nepperham  Heights  M.  E.  Church,  Yonkers,  N.  Y. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Enclosed  find  check  for  the  amount  of  your  bill. 

Please  accept  my  thanks  for  yourself  and  your  associates  for  your  skilful 
professional  work;  for  the  courteous  treatment  extended  to  me  by  all  of  the 
individuals  connected  with  your  wonderful  dental  establishment;  and  for 
the  reasonable  bill  you  render  for  the  work  you  have  done  for  me.  I  am 
grateful  to  Doctor  Germond  for  directing  me  to  you. 

Hoping  that  your  praises  may  in  the  future  be  found  in  many  mouths, 
I  am,  (Rev.)  James  M.  King, 

Corresponding  Secretary,  the  Board  of  Church  Extension  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church,  No.  126  Arch  Street,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Enclosed  find  check  to  cover  the  amount  of  your  bill,  and  permit  me  to 
say  that  I  never  sent  a  check  with  greater  satisfaction.  Before  I  visited  you 
the  mere  thought  of  going  to  a  dentist  overcame  me  with  a  sort  of  terror, 
but  each  of  my  visits  to  your  office  was  a  pleasurable  disappointment  until 
now  I  can  truthfully  say  that  all  fear  of  dental  work  has  departed  from  me 
forever.  (Rev.)  Charles  A.  Cbaig, 

St.  Joseph's  Church,  Pacific  St.  and  VanderbiU  Ave.,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Your  institution  has  unquestionably  reached  the  culmination  of  the  art 
of  dentistry.  (Rev.)  M.  J.  Flynn, 

Church  of  Our  Lady  of  Angels,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

You  can  certainly  count  me  as  a  friend  of  your  office.  Your  entire  work 
for  me,  including  extraction,  filling,  crowns  and  bridges,  is  remembered 
with  pleasure.  I  gratefully  recall  more  especially  the  extraction  of  nerves 
from  several  troublesome  teeth.  Frankly,  I  dreaded  this  work,  but  your 
expert  accomplished  it  skilfully  and  painlessly. 

(Rev.)  Wm.  L.  Davidson, 
Fleet  St.  M.  E.  Church,  Brooklyn.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.:— 

The  artificial  teeth  made  for  me  give  perfect  satisfaction.  It  is  the  best 
platework  I  ever  had,  and  I  desire  to  thank  you  for  it. 

(Rev.)  Thomas  J.  Fitzgerald, 
St.  Gabriel's  Church,  New  Lots  Road  and  Linden  St.,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S. : 

It  gives  me  great  satisfaction  to  bear  witness  to  your  wonderful  skill  from 
my  own  personal  experience.  The  patience,  kindliness,  good  humor  and 
unfailing  courtesy  ever  manifested  by  the  experts  of  your  staff,  added  to 
their  marvelous  facilities  for  banishing  pain  and  their  surprising  mastery 
of  the  most  delicate  operations,  made  visits  to  your  office  a  pleasure  that 
could  never  have  been  associated  with  old-time  dentistry. 

(Rev.)  M.  G.  Flannery, 

St.  Paul's  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  painless  extraction  of  teeth,  the  rapid  removal  of  nerves,  and  the 
comfortable  and  satisfactory  results  of  bridge-work,  under  the  skilful  hands 
of  your  specialists,  have  formed  a  pleasing  revelation  to  me. 

(Rev.)  J.  L.  Zabriskie, 
28  Regent  Place,  Flatbush. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  more  than  pleased  and  satisfied  with  your  work  and  your  treatment. 

(Rev.)  Jacob  W.  Loch, 
German  Evangelical  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  I  am  recommending  you  to  all  my  friends.  The 
work  you  did  for  me  is  said  to  be,  ordinarily,  very  painful,  but  in  my  case 
the  pain  was  almost  imperceptible. 

(Rev.)  George  B.  Cox, 
St.  Paul's  Chapel,  Trinity  Parish,  29  Vesey  St.,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  enclose  herewith  check  for  amount  of  accompanying  statement.  I  am 
very  much  satisfied  with  your  treatment,  and  pleased  with  the  uniform 
courtesy  extended  to  me  in  your  office.  With  kindest  regards, 

(Rev.)  John  S.  McGoldrick, 
St.  James  Pro-Cathedral,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  have  been  so  pleased  with  the  efficient  service  and  courteous  treatment 
given  me  by  yourself  and  your  staff  that  I  consider  I  am  conferring  a  favor 
on  any  sufferers  from  dental  trouble  when  I  recommend  them  to  go  to  your 
establishment.  (Rev.)  D.  McAlisteh, 

St.  Rose  of  Lima  Rectory,  Parkville,  L.  I. 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  35 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 
The  last  work  done  for  me  in  your  office  was  so  durable  that  it  is  still  in 


I 

±  ne  last  worK  aone  tor  me  in  your  omce  was  so  auraDie  max  it  is  sun  in 
perfect  condition  after  many  months  of  terrible  illness  and  the  taking  of  much 
strong  medicine.  I  am  happily  surprised  to  find  that  my  teeth  require  no  more 
filling  after  such  a  trying  ordeal,  and  tell  my  friends  that  I  owe  much  to  the 
skill  and  thoroughness  of  your  specialists. 

My  mouth  speaks  volumes,  in  more  ways  than  one,  for  the  excellence  of 
your  dentistry.  (Rev.)  Horace  Pobteb, 

Pastor,  Watchung  Avenue  Church,  Montclair,  N.  J. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

In  sending  you  the  enclosed  check  I  do  not  entirely  discharge  my  obli- 
gation, for  the  service  you  have  rendered  me  is  far  beyond  a  monetary  value. 
Permit  me  to  thank  you  for  the  privilege  of  meeting  such  skilled  and 
accomplished  gentlemen  as  those  to  whom  you  entrusted  my  case.  I  grate- 
fully remember  their  care  and  extreme  consideration,  and  I  congratulate 
you  on  having  such  experts  as  your  assistants. 

(Rev.)  J.  Wesley  Johnston, 

Lawrence,  L.  I. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Enclosed  please  find  check  for  $150,  amount  of  bill  for  services  to  my  wife. 

I  take  pleasure  in  adding  that  the  impossible,  as  I  supposed,  bridgework 

done  for  me  by  your  specialists  two  years  ago,  is  as  staunch  as  ever,  and  I 

have  been  chewing  like  a  boy  ever  since.  Believing  in  "  passing  along  "  a 

good  thing  I  would  advise  all  who  have  dental  troubles  to  visit  you. 

(Rev.)  J.  Fobd  Sutton, 
255  West  95th  St.,  Mahnattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

After  a  long  and  varied  experience  with  many  dentists,  it  affords  me 
pleasure  to  heartily  commend  the  work  done  in  your  office,  which  has  been 
thoroughly  tested  by  myself  and  three  members  of  my  family.  I  consider 
not  only  the  high  grade  of  professional  skill,  which  is  characteristic  of  your 
establishment,  as  worthy  of  mention,  but  also  the  thoughtful  care  and  kindly 
consideration  for  the  comfort  of  your  patrons. 

(Rev.)  S.  S.  Utteb, 
1067  Prospect  PL,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  visited  your  office,  two  or  three  years  ago,  only  when  I  could  no  longer 
delay  it,  because  like  so  many  others  I  had  the  usual  dread  of  going  to  a 
dentist.  But  today  I  thankfully  bear  witness  to  the  skill,  courtesy  and  sym- 
pathy of  yourself  and  your  able  assistants  which  made  my  experience  in 
your  hands  one  of  pleasure  instead  of  pain.  I  gladly  recommend  you  and  your 
associates  to  any  person  in  search  of  expert  dentistry,  and  especially  those 
with  sensitive  teeth.  (Rev.)  James  T.  McEnttbe, 

St.  Teresa' 8  Rectory,  1U  Henry  Street,  Manhattan.

36  The  X-ray  in  Dentistry 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S. : 

In  various  cities  I  have  had  considerable  dental  work  done  by  skilled 
dentists.  When  I  moved  to  Brooklyn  I  read  one  of  your  booklets  and  was 
prejudiced  because  you  were  an  "  advertiser."  I  knew  a  better  way  to  select 
my  dentist,  i.e.,  consult  my  friends.  I  did  so  and  asked  several  friends  what 
dentist  they  patronized  and  recommended.  They  surprised  me  by  saying 
"  Dr.  Cady."  You  have  now  done  considerable  and  difficult  work  for  me 
satisfactorily,  painlessly  and  economically,  and  I  take  pleasure  in  commend- 
ing you  and  your  able  assistants. 

(Rev.)  Jason  Noble  Pierce, 
Pastor,  Puritan  Congregational  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S. : 

It  was  certainly  a  kind  providence  that  brought  me  to  your  office  for  treat- 
ment after  long  suffering  with  what  I  supposed  was  neuralgia.  You  went  right 
to  the  "  root  '  of  the  matter  and  you  and  your  skilled  assistants  have  given 
me  the  relief  I  had  sought  in  vain  for  seven  weeks.  I  can  not  speak  too  highly 
of  the  patience,  skill  and  thoroughness  with  which  the  work  was  accom- 
plished. I  wish  I  had  gone  to  you  earlier. 

(Rev.)  Charles  S.  Wing, 
Presiding  Elder,  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  b7  Brevoort  Place,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

My  wife  and  I  neglected  our  teeth  for  years,  owing  to  a  dread  of  the  dental 
chair  which  amounted  to  veritable  nightmare.  Now  the  bugbear  has  been 
scotched,  thanks  to  the  painless  methods  practised  in  your  office  and  the 
scientific  manner  of  applying  them.  Henceforward  we  anticipate  no  pain, 
but  rather  pleasure  at  your  nands,  so  confident  are  we  that  the  promises 
made  in  your  prospectus  will  be  faithfully  kept.  The  bridgework  which  you 
made  for  each  of  us  is  giving  perfect  satisfaction,  and  I  cheerfully  testify 
that  the  result  is  beyond  our  expectations. 

(Rev.)  J.  E.  Parker, 
The  Original  Five  Points  Mission,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Your  treatment  of  my  case  has  been  most  satisfactory  and  all  dread  of 
the  dentist's  chair  removed.  (Rev.)  Robert  Rogers, 

Church  of  the  Good  Shepherd,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  have  had  considerable  work  done  at  your  office  in  the  past  five  years, 
and  it  is  with  pleasure  that  I  add  my  name  to  the  list  of  those  who  have 

I     derived  great  benefit  from  your  services. 
(Rev.)  Leon  M.  Nelson, 
Rabbi,  Temple  Israel,  Brooklyn 


The  X-ray  in  Dentistry 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  be  of  the  number  of  those  who  commend 
you  to  the  public.  I  was  pleased  with  your  services  and  am  glad  to  be  referred 
to  in  your  favor.  (Rev.)  Edwabd  P.  Ingebsoll,  D.D. 

Corresponding  Secretary, 
American  Bible  Society,  Bible  House,  Astor  Place,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  very  much  pleased  to  say  that  your  work  for  me  has  proven  most 
satisfactory.  It  was  a  pleasure  to  go  to  your  office,  as  I  found  your 
specialists  not  only  expert,  but  kind  and  gentle. 

(Rev.)  Edwabd  J.  Donovan, 
St.  Peter' 8  Rectory,  117  Warren  Street,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady.  D.D.S.: 

It  is  a  sincere  pleasure  to  commend  the  skillful  and  painless  work  of  your 
specialists.  I  must  confess  I  first  went  to  your  office  with  fear  and  trembling, 
but  the  kind  and  expert  treatment  I  received  in  every  department  made  my 
subsequent  visits  a  real  pleasure.  Pain  was  practically  eliminated.  I  am  more 
than  pleased  with  the  work  done  for  me  and  gladly  commend  you  to  any 
one  in  need  of  a  dentist's  skill  and  care. 

(Rev.)  A.  J.  Debbtshibe, 
Grace  Church  Rectory,  1907  Vyse  Avenue,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  feel  that  your  services  have  been  of  great  value  to  me.  Indeed  at  the 
outset  I  did  not  think  it  possible  that  you  could  bridge  over  so  many  diffi- 
culties. Your  work  has  fulfilled  your  promises  and  surpassed  my  expectations. 

(Rev.)  M.  A.  Fitzgebald, 
St.  Peter's  Rectory,  117  Warren  Street,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  beg  to  assure  you  of  my  perfect  satisfaction  with  the  work  which  I  had 
done  by  your  specialists.  Courteous  treatment  and  skillful  practice  are 
marked  characteristics  of  your  office. 

(Rev.)  Wm.  McGinnis, 
St.  Bridget's  Rectory,  Westbury,  N.  Y. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  Cady  System  bridge-work  which  you  put  in  my  mouth  was  like  a 
creative  act,  the  producing  of  something  from  nothing,  for  the  condition 
of  my  teeth  when  I  went  to  you  seemed  hopeless.  You  have  done  me  a  great 
service  and  I  thank  you  for  it.  Also  I  thank  your  estimable  staff  of  specialists 
for  their  painstaking  attention  in  the  performance  of  their  work  even  to  the 
minutest  details.  The  skill,  carefulness  and  kindness  which  prevail  in  your 
office  made  my  visits  there  a  source  of  pleasure.

St.  Teresa's  Church,  HI  Henry  Street,  Manhattan.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Myself  and  family  have  received  at  your  office  the  best  dental  service  j 
we  ever  had.  The  work  has  been  so  satisfactory  that  I  gladly  recommend  ' 
you  to  any  of  my  friends  and  to  the  public  at  large. 

(Rev.)  Mabtin  O.  Leplet, 
Eighteenth  Street  Af.  E.  Church,  Brooklyn. 


I 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  found  the  work  of  your  staff  so  painless  that  the  time  spent  in  your 
office  was  a  rest  cure.  My  teeth  were  restored  both  in  appearance  and  use- 
fulness, though  they  were  in  a  discouraging  condition  when  I  went  to  you. 

For  years  I  have  been  having  trouble  in  the  lymphatic  glands  of  my  neck 
and  after  two  severe  surgical  operations  a  third  was  promised,  when  it  would 
be  convenient  to  my  strength.  This  trouble  disappeared  after  your  work  was 
done. 

I  certainly  wish  I  had  gone  to  you  long  ago. 

(Rev.)  J.  F.  W.  Kitzmeyeh, 
St.  Paul's  Ev.  Lutheran  Church,  Coney  Island,  L.  I. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Both  Mrs.  Hess  and  myself  are  very  glad  to  say  excellent  as  to  your  work. 
You  have  certainly  made  dentistry  a  fine  art.  Your  progressiveness  in  a 
number  of  ways,  especially  in  that  of  having  the  work  of  the  different 
branches  done  by  specialists,  deserves  to  be  widely  known. 

I  congratulate  you  upon  your  ideals  and  high  standard  of  work. 

(Rev.)  Wm.  Milton  Hess, 
Trinity  Congregational  Church, 
176th  Street  and  Washington  Avenue,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  enclose  check  in  settlement  of  your  bill,  with  thanks  for  the  excellent 
work  you  have  performed  for  me  and  my  wife  during  the  last  sixteen  years. 
It  was  a  friend  of  mine  who  recommended  me  to  you  then  and  I  am  doing 
the  same  to  my  friends  now.  I  commend  you  and  your  specialists  not  only 
for  the  highest  grade  of  professional  skill  in  dentistry,  but  also  for  the  uniform 
courtesy  and  kindness  with  which  your  patrons  are  treated. 

(Rev.)  Stefano  L.  Testa, 
Franklin  Avenue  Italian  Presbyterian  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady.  D.D.S.: 

Permit  me  to  thank  you  for  the  comfort  you  have  given  me.  The  bridge- 
work  you  made  is  entirely  satisfactory,  much  more  so  than  I  thought  possible, 
owing  to  the  poor  condition  of  my  teeth.  I  am  grateful  to  you  and  your  staff 
of  specialists  for  your  skill,  unfailing  courtesy  and  kindness.

The  X-ray  in  Dentistry  39 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  have  always  counted  myself  fortunate  in  my  dental  friends,  but  in  your 
rare  advisory  wisdom  and  the  expert  skill  of  the  specialists  who  compose  your 
staff,  I  have  found  a  new  and  grateful  revelation.  God  bless  you  all! 

You  are  kind  and  wise  to  make  known  your  accomplishments  towards 
painlessness.  It  would  be  wrong  to  suppress  them.  My  family  shared  my 
experience  of  your  skill  and  most  heartily  join  in  this  expression  of  sincere 
appreciation. 

(Rev.)  Edwin  Sidney  Williams, 
19  Huntington  Road,  Port  Washington,  L.  I.,  N.  Y. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

You  and  your  co-workers  have  certainly  improved  on  the  ordinary  way 
of  practising  dentistry.   Cheerful  rooms,   polite  attendants   and  above  all 
competent  and  careful  operators  change  dread  into  pleasure. 
Five  members  of  my  family  can  testify  to  the  value  of  vour  services. 

(Rev.)  Wm.  W.  Clark, 
Minister  (retired)  of  the  Reformed  Church,  532  Clinton  Ave.,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  giving  you  and  your  staff  what  is  simply  due  from  me  in  saying  I 
might  travel  the  wide  world  over  and  not  get  better  dental  work  than  has 
been  done  for  me  in  your  office. 

As  you  are  aware  I  needed  extensive  repairs  and  am  therefore  entitled  to 
speak  emphatically.  (Rev.)  John  A.  Wade, 

Rector,  Church  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist,  22  i  Waverly  Place,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Both  Mrs.  Schmidt  and  I  find  great  pleasure  in  being  numbered  among 
the  many  who  have  been  under  your  care  and  who  can  conscientiously 
recommend  you  to  all  those  desiring  efficient  and  comparatively  painless 
dental  service.  We  beg  to  assure  you  of  our  perfect  satisfaction  with  the 
work  done  by  your  skilled  specialists.  (Rev.)  Geo.  F.  Schmidt, 

Pastor,  Trinity  Evangelical  Lutheran  Church,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Four  years  ago  my  health  was  seriously  impaired  by  the  condition  of  my 
teeth  and  I  went  to  you  for  treatment.  The  result  has  far  exceeded  my 
expectation.  My  health  is  much  improved,  my  digestion  is  normal,  my  voice 
is  clearer  in  public  speaking  and  I  have  much  greater  Joy  in  life.  As  I  am 
in  my  eighty-third  year  these  facts,  I  think,  speak  much  in  favor  of  the 
scientific  service  rendered  by  yourself  and  staff  of  specialists.

Pastor,  Oyster  Bay  Baptist  Church,  Oyster  Bay,  L.  I.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  thankful  to  report  that  the  work  done  for  me  and  for  several  of  my 
patients  whom  I  referred  to  you  has  been  highly  satisfactory.  One  of  the 
best  features,  according  to  my  observations,  is  your  manner  of  laying  out 
the  work  in  advance. 

The  courtesy  of  yourself  and  all  connected  with  your  establishment  is 
gratefully  appreciated. 

B.  G.  Clabk,  M.  D.,

I  enclose  check  to  balance  account,  but  I  still  owe  you  gratitude. 

J.  R.  Parsons, 
145  Fourth  Avenue,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  skill  of  your  staff  of  specialists  commands  my  gratitude.  Their  work 

in  my  mouth  was  not  only  skillfully  done  but  its  effect  is  highly  artistic. 

Moreover  they  showed  the  greatest  carefulness  and  sympathy  and  succeeded 

in  performing  the  most  difficult  operations  with  entire  absence  of  pain.  > 

I  never  go  to  your  office  now  with  fear.  That  vanished  after  my  first  visit. 

Habby  Branning, 
1828  Sedgwick  Ave.,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.:  . 

Perhaps  it  may  be  a  satisfaction  to  you  to  know  that  you  have  contributed 
a  great  deal  to  my  happiness,  in  adding  so  much  to  the  appearance  and  use- 
fulness of  my  teeth. 

It  has  been  a  comfort  to  have  the  benefit  of  your  advice  and  the  skilled 
and  careful  workmanship  of  your  specialists. 

Janette  Baldwin,  M.  D. 
284  Quincy  Street,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  extensive  work  by  your  specialists  was  not  only  the  best  dental  service 
I  ever  received,  but  it  was  accomplished  in  the  most  gentle  and  painless 
manner  I  ever  experienced  in  a  dental  chair.  I  expect  to  patronize  you  as 
long  as  I  live  within  fifteen  hundred  miles  of  your  office,  and  I  assure  you 
it  is  a  pleasure  to  testify  to  the  splendid  ability  of  yourself  and  your  entire 
staff.  Chas.  H.  Bbown, 

President,  Tampa  &  Gulf  Coast  Railroad,  Tampa,  Fla. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

My  family  and  I  have  been  coming  to  your  for  dental  work  for  years, 
and  have  been  treated  with  consummate  efficiency.  My  dental  appoint- 
ments became  pleasurable  through  the  skillful  and  gentle  treatment  or  your 
staff.  Geo.  B.  Goodwin,

Since  I  am  a  firm  believer  in  the  advertising  maxim  which  says:  "  If  you 
are  pleased  with  our  goods  tell  others:  if  not  pleased  tell  us,"  I  am  glad  to 
say  publicly  that  I  have  been  better  satisfied  with  the  dentistry  of  your 
specialists  than  with  that  of  any  general  practitioner  by  whom  I  have  been 
treated.  Allow  me  to  commend  especially  your  inlay  work. 

Benj.  B.  Kekpbick, 
Asst.  Prof,  of  History,  Columbia  University,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  often  make  the  assertion  that  work  done  by  you  is  remarkable  for  its 
durability,  as  my  experience  of  twelve  years  conclusively  proves.  I  might 
give  you  a  tip,  doctor,  do  not  do  your  work  quite  so  well,  then  your  patients 
will  be  obliged  to  visit  your  office  more  frequently. 

J.  S.  MacAbthub, 
Manager,  Metropolitan  Branch,  Brooklyn  Union  Gat  Co. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  dental  service  which  I  have  received  at  your  establishment  has  been 
eminently  satisfactory,  and  although  at  first  I  doubted  whether  your  system 
would  be  as  agreeable  as  that  of  the  old-fashioned  dentist  who  does  all  his 
work  himself,  I  found  that  the  plan  of  assigning  each  special  department 
of  the  work  to  a  specialist  in  that  department  was  a  distinct  improvement. 
What  you  did  for  me  was  done  better  than  any  similar  work  I  have  had  done. 

William  B.  Howland, 
President,  "  The  Independent,"  119  W.  iOth  St.,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  take  pleasure  in  saying  that  the  work  you  have  done  for  me  and  for  my 
family  has  been  very  satisfactory.  I  may  add  that  during  the  period  of 
twenty-four  years  that  I  have  known  you  I  have  come  in  contact  with 
many  who  have  employed  you  and  they  have  all  spoken  in  the  highest 
terms  of  your  work.  Julian  D.  Faibchild, 

President,  Kings  County  Trust  Co.,  Brooklyn. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  not  only  pleased  with  the  character  of  the  work  you  have  done  for 
me  in  the  past,  but  am  especially  gratified  to  find  that  my  teeth  need  less 
and  less  dentistry  each  year,  due  to  the  care  and  advice  of  your  office

You  may  use  my  name  as  a  most  enthusiastic  "  Cady-ite  "  (if  you  will

I  am  so  much  pleased  with  the  work  you  did  for  me  that  I  have  spoken 
of  the  efficiency  of  your  staff  to  several  friends  who  have  taken  advantage 
of  the  recommendation,  and  were  in  turn  well  pleased  with  the  result.  This 
could  also  be  said  of  the  work  which  you  have  done  for  Mrs.  Pangborn. 

The  courteous,  sanitary,  scientific  methods  of  your  practice  can  not  do 
otherwise  than  merit  the  broadest  success,  a  generous  amount  of  which  yon 
have  already  realized.  Thomas  W.  Pangborn,

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  wish  to  thank  you  for  the  kind  and  considerate  treatment  accorded 
Mrs.  Bergen  and  myself  and  to  congratulate  you  on  the  successful  manner 
in  which  you  handled  Mrs.  Bergen's  case.  It  took  five  years  of  coaxing  to 
get  her  to  visit  a  dentist,  and  it  was  only  after  I  had  explained  from  my  own 
experience  how  little  fear  she  need  have  that  I  prevailed  upon  her  to  visit 
you.  The  results  have  justified  the  effort  and  we  are  both  thankful  to  you 
and  your  assistants  for  your  valuable  services. 

G.  A.  Bergen, 
50  Church  Street,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  work  you  did  for  me  was  most  satisfactory,  and  the  skill  and  work- 
manship could  not  be  bettered.  The  fact  that  one  could  have  nerves  killed 
or  removed  in  a  few  moments  without  particular  pain  was  a  revelation, 
and  a  thing  I  did  not  believe  possible  until  operated  upon  in  your  office.  I 
have  no  hesitation  in  most  highly  recommending  to  you  any  one  in  need 
of  the  best  and  most  modern  methods  at  the  hands  of  a  dentist. 

Alvah  Miller, 
52  Vanderbilt  Ave.,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Specialization  in  your  office  ha9  undoubtedly  developed  extraordinary 
skill  in  your  operators,  and  this,  together  with  your  special  appliances  and 
methods,  is  accountable  for  the  absence  of  pain  in  connection  with  your  work. 

In  addition  to  this,  the  constant  sympathy  and  courtesy  evinced  by  every 
member  of  your  staff  take  away  fear  of  the  dental  chair,  and  make  a  visit  to 
your  office  one  of  pleasure,  in  many  respects,  and  not  of  dread. 

My  experience  and  the  experience  of  my  family  has  left  such  a  pleasant 
impression  that  I  am  glad  to  assist  in  extending  the  good  work  you  are  doing 
by  recommending  you.  A.  G.  Calder,

skillful  treatment  I  ever  received  from  a  dentist.  I  only  wish  I  had  known 
of  you  before  for  I  am  sure  you  would  have  saved  me  a  great  deal  of  suf- 
fering. I  look  upon  you  as  a  past-master  in  your  profession  and  wish  every

It  gives  me  distinct  pleasure  to  express  my  hearty  appreciation  of  the 
manner  in  which  I  have  been  treated  for  many  years  in  your  office.  Cheerful 
and  courteous  attention  has  been  my  unfailing  experience,  while  modern 
appliances  and  methods  did  away  with  the  pain.  The  prompt  manner  in 
which  the  work  is  done  proves  a  boon  to  a  busy  man.  To  you  and  all  the 
members  of  your  staff  I  add  my  thanks. 

Hermann  de  Seldinq,

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Between  twelve  and  thirteen  years  ago  you  did  a  large  amount  of  dental 
work  for  me  consisting  of  gold  fillings,  crowns  and  bridge-work.  It  was  so 
well  done  that  I  have  had  nothing  but  comfort  with  my  teeth  ever  since, 
with  no  further  expense  in  all  this  time.  I  have  recommended  many  people 
to  you  in  the  past  and  expect  to  do  so  hereafter.

But  your[associates  are  more  than  good  dentists.  They  are  gracious,  good-

The  X-ray  in  Dentistry 


3 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Your  courteous  favor  of  recent  date  was  a  harbinger  of  pleasant  recol- 
lections to  me.  It  recalled  vividly  my  first  visit  to  your  establishment  filled 
as  it  was  with  delightful  surprises,  for  until  that  time  I  had  remained  skep- 
tical and  unconvinced  concerning  painless  dentistry. 

Your  establishment,  a  dental  symphony,  and  your  methods,  skillfull 
kind,  painless,  were  revelations  to  me.  The  splendid  condition  of  my  teeth 
today  amply  attests  your  superior  ability  in  your  chosen  profession. 

It  has  been  well  said  that  "  Dentistry  requires  the  eye  of  the  lapidary, 
the  skill  of  a  mechanic,  the  taste  of  an  artist,  the  nerve  of  a  surgeon,  and 
the  sympathies  of  a  friend."  That  you  and  all  your  staffpossess  these  requi- 
sites is  my  experience.  Wm.  G.  Coopeb, 

Vice-Free.,  Frederick  Loeser  &  Co.,  Inc.,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

The  dental  work  done  at  your  establishment  for  my  family  for  many 
years  has  been  most  excellent,  and  it  is  always  a  pleasure  to  refer  our  friends 
to  you.  Chas.  H.  Potteb, 

h2  Whitehall  St.,  Manhattan 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

It  is  a  pleasure  when  customers  come  into  the  Riker  Drug  Stores 
and  ask  us  to  recommend  a  dentist,  to  be  conscientiously  able  to  refer 
them  to  you. 

My  experience,  and  the  experience  of  my  family,  with  your  methods- 
has  been  highly  satisfactory.  The  work  your  specialists  did  in  my  mouth 
twelve  years  ago  has  remained  in  absolutely  perfect  condition  up  to  this  time. 
The  efficient  manner  in  which  I  have  been  able  to  masticate  food  since  the 
work  was  done  has  enabled  me  to  laugh  at  old  age,  which  the  condition  of 
my  stomach  prior  to  that  time  led  me  to  think  was  fast  approaching. 

W.  C.  Bolton, 
i56  Fulton  St.,  Brooklyn 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

During  the  twenty  years  I  have  lived  in  New  York,  all  my  denta  work 
has  been  done  by  you,  and  has  given  the  utmost  satisfaction. 

Henby  J.  Gielow, 

52  Broadway,  Manhattan. 


Edward  Everett  Cayd,  D.D.S.: 

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  express  my  sincere  appreciation  of  the  thorough 
and  scientific  work  done  for  me  while  a  patient  in  your  care.  I  regard  your 
organization  as  unique,  and  I  believe  your  system  of  specialization  secures 
the  very  highest  results  in  dental  practice.

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

Since  you  began  looking  after  my  teeth  I  have  had  absolute  denta   com- 
fort. Also,  I  have  spoken  on  the  public  platform  more  and  better  than  I

ever  did  before,  I  know  how  to  care  for  my  teeth  in  the  best  possible  manner, 
and  I  do-  That,  and  my  dislike  of  being  hurt,  explain  why  I  am  a  patient 
of  yours.  The  unkind  things  I  sometimes  say  about  doctors  do  not  apply 
to  you,  for  I  am  ever  your  grateful, 

Elbert  Hubiurd, 
The  Bayer  of ters,  East  Aurora,  N.  Y. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

When  I  first  consulted  you  my  teeth  were  in  such  deplorable  condition 
that  you  frankly  informed  me  the  work  would  be  difficult  and  perhaps  not 
entirely  satisfactory,  but  that  you  would  do  the  best  you  could  under  the 
circumstances. 

When  the  work  was  finished  the  improvement  in  my  mouth  seemed  more 
like  a  miracle  than  the  result  of  human  ingenuity. 

The  great  success  you  have  achieved  is  due  largely,  of  course,  to  the 
superior  skill  of  your  specialists.  But  I  shall  always  remember  with  grati- 
tude the  kindness,  gentleness  and  sympathy  which  accompanied  this  skill 
and  shall  gladly  recommend  you  to  my  friends.  A.  C.  Haqeman, 

Cashier,  Queens  County  Savings  Bank,  Flushing,  N.  Y. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  pleased  to  say  that  the  work  of  your  specialists  has  always  given 
me  and  the  members  of  my  family,  as  well  as  friends  whom  I  have  sent  to 
you,  entire  satisfaction.  W.  K.  Clevebley, 

2nd  Vice-Pres.,  Seaboard  National  Bank,  Manhattan. 

Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  am  pleased  to  add  my  testimonial  for  the  good  work  done  at  your  dental 
establishment  for  myself  and  family  during  the  past  twelve  years. 

A.  C.  Hare, 
Cashier,  The  Brooklyn  Savings  Bank,  Brooklyn. 


Edward  Everett  Cady,  D.D.S.: 

I  have  found  the  work  of  your  specialists  thoroughly  scientific,  sanitary, 
expeditious  and  painless.  I  did  not  believe  in  painless  and  thorough  dentistry, 
combined,  before  I  went  to  you.  But  now  I  go  to  your  office  as  cheerfully  as 
I  goto  mine,  and  without  a  qualm. 

Inez  Milholland, 
[115  Broadway,  Manhattan. 


I  regret  that  increase  of  reading  matter  has  crowded  out  a  great  many 
valued  testimonials  from  my  48-page  limit.  I  apologize  to  the  kind  friends 
whose  pleasant  letters  of  appreciation  are  omitted,  with  the  assurance  that 
these  letters  are  highly  prized  and  are  preserved  with  the  hope  of  future 
publication.
